Help Bring Schapelle Corby Home... A Free Woman!

Target:
The Hon. Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister of Australia

The previous Australian Government stood by and did nothing when the Indonesian Courts sentenced a young Australian woman to 20 years for importation of 4.2kg of marijuana. Despite pleading by the defendant to have the drugs DNA tested, her baggage weighed and the bags fingerprinted, the trial went ahead without testing of this crucial evidence. This evidence would have set her free.


She was not given her rights to a fair trial under the laws of Indonesia or by international conventions.


This petition to the Prime Minister of Australia is designed in the hope that diplomatic intervention will help in securing Schapelle Corby's release and return her home to Australia, a free woman.

Schapelle Corby's judicial review has failed. Now this once vibrant young woman is facing a 20 year jail sentence that will prevent her ever from having children and seeing them play happily in their own home. We need people power to help set her free.

The Hon. Kevin Rudd
Prime Minister of Australia
Parliament house
Canberra ACT.

Dear Mr. Rudd


We, the undersigned, call on you to address the incarceration of Ms Schapelle Corby for 20 years in a Bali Jail and the circumstances surrounding her trial.


Whether the young woman was guilty or not, the manner in which the trial was conducted, should have resulted in her immediate release with no conviction recorded against her name.


You would be aware that the defendant was denied the basic right of any court of law, anywhere in the world, to have the evidence tested - in this case, to establish the country in which it was grown.". If that turned out to be Bali it would have meant an automatic dismissal of the charge. Our previous Foreign Minister actually stated that it was possible that the drugs had been placed in her bag in Bali. We heard no further mention of that distinct possibility.


If DNA testing had found that the drugs were from Australia, further testing would have revealed the dna profile of anyone who had handled the product from their hair or dander samples in the package.


You are probably also aware that Ms Corby has a copy of her written statement requesting this testing be done along with fingerprinting of the original plastic bag. Yet these requests were denied by the court and the prosecution.


The AFP was told by the Bali Police that their help was not required. The AFP should have insisted on testing the drugs as an Australian citizen had been accused of exporting drugs from Australia to Indonesia. This would have been a trans national crime requiring a full investigation to establish the complete details. That was never done.


There are many eminent Australian jurors who have declared that Corby would not have been convicted in any court in Australia on the evidence used and the refusal by both the court and the prosecutor to allow DNA and fingerprint testing.


Before this case is brought before the United Nations Human Rights Committee, we urge you to work on a diplomatic solution to bring Ms Corby home a free woman instead of suffering the indignity of existing in the squalor of a third world prison, with no hope of ever becoming a mother and seeing her own children playing happily around her home.

Hello, Free Schapelle, no matter what happenned whether she is guilt or not. As i saw at the docummentary i think she is innocent because such a thing could happen even with everyone. Who accompany the transit of their luggages across the way they get the plane? Who doesn't remember frank luccas that used planes in the 70's decades to traffic drugs? I think the penalties are tough and the best advice to anyone is to avoid visiting such a country. In my home i have 3 childs and i will let they know to avoid countries whose penalties are so severe that a misundertanding may put their live in jeopardy. All we can do is to visit site of giant companies and tell them that products made in such countries we are not going to buy their products if they are manufactured there. The possibility that the drug was planted in her luggage is entirely possible and such a thing must be considered in a trial.

This is outrageous! Please give this woman a just and fair re-trial with all evidence being brought into the light. Please help free an innocent woman who has the right to be free. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Please bring her home, she doesn't deserve to live the next 15 years in that place. It is such a harrowing story and when you actually think about it, it is ridiculous that nothing has already been done in the last 5 years. Nobody is just going to forget Schapelle...she's not just some exciting news story, she is a PERSON, and as you sit there and drink your coffee while you read this or cook your nightly meal, or watch the news on the TV....she's still there. And she will be for the next 15 years unless we do something to help her.

Why hasn't Mr Good guy President Obama tried to assist in this terrible tragedy. I wept at the first video I wept as I read the book. This horrible incident is in my heart always and I wish I could just get you out of there!

I would like to help but it seems the only help you really can respond to is freedom God bless and keep you. Stay stronger surely there will be a truthful resolution and freedom.

Mr. Rudd, Please show some compassion for one of your own citizens who was unfairly treated in a court of law and cruelly thrown into hell with no choice. I watched her documentary and was absolutely heartbroken by her story. Please take the necessary action and at least TRY to help Schapelle. You would not only be saving Schapelle, you would be standing up for your country and showing that you care about your people. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do what you can.

Mr. Rudd, If you cannot find it in your heart to do what is needed to free this beautiful woman, who obviously did not get a fair trail, then maybe look into your thick skull, and realize that all of Australia will think you are a hero, and you will more than likely go down in history as a compasionate, responsible leader. Give her the freedpm you are a free leader promises to uphold!

This entire thing is tragic. The Indonesian government held a totally unfair trial Schapelle needs to be freed and a huge apology given to her. Disgusting.

Half way the book 'no more tomorrows' and if only 10% of what I've read is true it's a big disgrace that this woman is where she's now. The Australian government should put more effords in free Schapelle and all human right organisations must work together to improve prisons around the world.

I read the book "No more tomorrows" and decided to help Schapelle in any way I can. I think Schapelle's supporters should request a retrial in an independent country.

It is clear that all the evidence was destroyed by the Balinese. A clear negligence from the Australian Government and by Qantas Airways Kevin Rudd- the time to act is now!

this story is unbelievable. I've just been made aware and I cannot understand how in this day judges and court systems can be so primative. I am no detective, but anyone could agree that there is overwhelming evidence to her innocence and the corruption in airport security. Not to mention the fact that it was just marijuana. IT'S A PLANT. not heroin, meth, or any other manufactured drug. WAKE UP WORLD

This is the exact reason why i will never leave the united states! They have NO evidence except that it was her bag and the only reason they have treated the case the way they have is because of all the Civilians that want to put her to death over this crazyness and im SURE some people want to make some money. And why isnt Australia doing more to help her Im sure if some high ranking officer was in trouble or some sort of political face was in this situation there would be no question about getting him/her out of this situation!!!!
